The Spy (Netflix, Friday) — The streaming giant presents Sacha Baron Cohen like you’ve never seen him before in this limited series. The comedian takes an intensely dramatic and thrilling turn to portray real-life Mossad agent Eli Cohen, who goes undercover as Kamel Amin Thaalbeth. This alter ego gains the trust of Syrian military leaders and the wealthy on an unprecedented level, all to change the course of history.

Here’s the rest of this weekend’s notable programming.

BH90210 (Friday, FOX 8:00 p.m.) — The gang is still doing this faux-reboot thing with the first day of official filming going down the tube after an unspecified threat. Jason Priestley’s heightened persona apparently frustrates the ladies while he directs.

Killjoys (Friday, SyFy 10:00 p.m.) — A road trip to visit a dangerous cult goes about as poorly as expected for Dutch and Zeph.

Ballers (HBO, 10:30 p.m.) — Can we stop for a moment and wonder how on earth The Rock finds time to film this series, year after year? Meanwhile, the stakes are high for Spencer Strasmore while he attempts (and fails) to retire.
